Assembly is much easier/faster with an impact driver/star bit and a socket wrench. It would be nice if the back cushion included ties, as are found on the seat and ottoman cushions. Very comfortable and look great on our patio.

For assembly, save yourself the trouble and use real tools instead of the free ones sent with the chair. It will go much easier and with way less frustration. After we grabbed pliers it went much faster! Having two people was a big help. It would have been very difficult with one person and the provided tools. After assembled the chair and foot rest are really solid and strong. It is comfortable especially with the attention to detail like the angle of the foot rest for extra knee comfort. This is a nice relaxing set. If I had to search for a downside I would say the back pillow slides down a little bit because it isn't tied on but really it isn't a bother. It's nice to be able to adjust it. Overall, good solid chair and foot rest set!

So far it seems like a solid chair. It's heavy and the cushions are a nice touch. The biggest issue I had involved putting the chair together, which seems like the consensus in these reviews. The tools are ridiculous and it's impossible to get the nut into the bolt without really strong hands. Plus, it's really a two person job as the chair is too heavy to hold up while fighting with the tools to put it together. Once the chair is put together though, it's all good.

Love these chairs, easy to assemble. They look great on my deck. The grey cushions are so comfortable. We have used the chairs with and without the cushions, and still comfortable.

These chairs are heavy, I cant wait to put them together
